I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

other party claiming force majeure. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 12 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $141,000.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under common law contract principles, unconscionable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
